I know a few peeps with stump collections – I’m thinking this would be perfecto for the table-less side of the reclining loveseat. Might help alleviate the constant ‘get out of my seat, I need the table for my drink’ discussion!

I so love, love, love your precious sense of humor; the stuff right out of children’s story books – munchkins indeed!
Just bet that when your creative juices get to flowing, many beautiful results come forth, as in this case here; Mr. Stump being the perfect example. Munchkins romp and play on him when no one’s around, I’ll bet! lol
Sadly, there is so much ugliness on face book (bad language, unnecessary nudity, etc.) bless you and your husband for being there to counteract in such creative and fun ways.

Mr. Stump came a long way in your “forest” and the ones waiting in the wings can’t wait to go where he did. This would make a great Kid’s Story and the animals and birds envy Mr. Stump also, keep going with this one. Love, Mom xx

My husband and son cut down an old hickory tree this summer. I had them leave the stump, its sits about 34 inches above ground.
Now the tough decision. To add a round top to it and make it a table for the grandbabies or to bore out the center and make a flower planter out of it.
I’m also scouring Pinterest to look for other ideas.

I loooove this! If I lived anywhere near you I’d totally take you up on the offer to come pick up a stump though since we live in a new development area with hardly any trees (it’s so sad!)! I think I would paint the top of mine gold and leave the rest as-is with just the poly. It’s gorgeous!

This is terrific! This is actually something I have been wanting to do for a while now, since I saw something similar in DIY Magazine last year. Yours turned out wonderful and the colors of the wood all finished look impeccable! I am Tres Impressed! I am gonna have to go and dig through my dad’s wood pile now and make one for myself!

Thanks for the inspiration! Pinned it, also a new follow! I can’t wait to see more posts of yours!

While this idea is, I must say because it’s too easy to pass up, as old as a stump :-), what prompted me to come to your site and take a look is the picture shown in our local paper. The picture in print is of a stump that includes a top with a hand saw sticking out of it. I hope this one is also yours and you can show how you created it.

Wow long way from NY but beautiful indeed, I am playing with idea of moving someplace else myself so I am glad I ran into you. Great share love your blog and the stump idea I keep hoping to run into one here in Queens I could drag to my car and work on but no luck yet. A must save and try for sure thanks again:)

Julie; Love what you done with your tree stumps. Awesome looking! Much can be done with tree stumps; just an imagination away.
Get yourself a wood burning tool and wood burn initials in it or even a cute design, year, date, etc.
No wood burning tool? You can borrow mine but you have to come and get it. :} If you come, bring a stump with you. :}

Hahahaha, Wow Julie you are so funny, and I love your great/fun humor. The wood with the sunglasses and lipstick, so funny. You do such beautiful work even when you are creating jokes, and it’s very classy! You turned an expensive piece of wood (unlike west elm), and showed us, yet again how we can create that same gorgeous look, but much cheaper. As always, thank you!!!

Hi Julie, love the stump table. When your husband sanded….did he just sand the top and bottom or did he also sand down the sides? The sides still have that rustic look so maybe he just “lightly” sanded? Thanks.
